In those days Ayirathil Oruvan was released in touring talkies also. Now in modern time the movie was re-released in DTS theatres that was history, now Ayirathil Oruvan has reached multiplex. For the first time in the history of Tamil cinema 43 year old movie was re-released in Mayajaal in Chennai.

The response was tremendous. Above is the ad placed in Daily Thanthi Chennai edition.

This clip contains the one liner of MGR from the movie Ayirathil Oruvan. MGR is a different Leader. When Jayalalitha gives permission to him to enter all the places in the Island and ready to give him good place to dwell, then MGR say, if my friends are also allowed to do the same I too will enjoy. And continues what a Leader should be (typical MGR one liner) – they believe me as their Head and I consider them as my Body, what is the use when Head is separated from the Body the life.

In this clip MGR gives treatment, the ship captain informs Ramadoss that he is a Leader to the Slaves, which brings panic for Ramadoss and orders MGR to be thrown to the Sea. But Jayalalitha interferes and gets permission to use the skills of a Doctor for the snake ridden Island. And also watch the enjoyment of the Fans when the words comes from Amma.
